The warranty extension applies to all products in accordance with the EasyLaser® Warranty requirements. 2 Introduction Safety precautions Easy-Laser® is a laser instrument in laser class II with an output power less than 1 mW, which requires the following safety precautions: • Never stare directly into the laser beam • Never aim the laser beam at anyone else’s eyes. Note! Opening the laser units can result in hazardous radiation, and will invalidate the manufacturer warranty. If starting the machine to be measured would result in injuries, the possibility to unintentionally start it must be disabled before mounting the equipment, for example by locking the switch in the off position or removing the fuses. These safety precautions should remain in place until the measurement equipment has been removed from the machine. Note! The system should not be used in explosive risk areas.

Best fit Manual fit Select to measure next coupling. 58 Machine train Lock feet pair This function is available in graph and table view. We recommend that you lock two feet pair to get the most accurate calculated reference line as possible. If you choose to lock only one feet pair, the tilt of the train is maintained and the coupling is offset. Best fit and Manual fit By default, an average best fit is calculated on the measured machine train. This means that the train is tilted to the flattest possible plane. If no feet pairs are locked, the system assumes that all machines are possible to move in all directions. For each coupling that you measure, the best fit is recalculated. When you have made adjustments on a coupling, the best fit is no longer recalculated. Manual fit Only available when you have measured the whole train, and only in graph view. Use this function when you know that you for example can move a machine a little in one direction, but not at all in another direction. 1.Select and to activate the Manual fit function. If there are locked feet pair, these are unlocked. 2.Use the numerical buttons to move the graph. • Buttons 1 and 4 move the left part of the train • Buttons 2 and 5 moves the whole train. • Buttons 3 and 6 moves the right part of the train. • Button -+ will change the scale.

This can be used for instance in turbine measurements to compensate for thermal expansion. Reference points Same reference points, but with offset. 83 Straightness Best fit operations All best three best fit operations will try to find a reference line where the peak to peak value of the measurement points is minimized. This can be used for instance to see if a surface is within given tolerances. The difference between the best fit operations is the offset that is set. Best fit – around 0 This operation removes all reference points. Centre the values so that the maximum and minimum values are equally large. Best fit – all positive Removes all reference points. The best fit with all measurement points above zero. Best fit – all negative Removes all reference points. The best fit with all measurement points below zero. 84 Straightness Waviness It may be insufficient to interpret the quality of a measurement by looking only at the measurement peak to peak value. Waviness is often used to detect large deviations. In some applications there might not be a problem with many small deviations, but one large will cause great problems. Bearings in diesel engines is one example. To set waviness, select To show waviness graph, select and . and . Example The two surfaces in the example below have the same peak to peak value. However the first measurement is rougher than the second. In many applications a smooth measurement is desired. Using waviness it is possible to indicate the smoothness of a measurement. In this example, the rougher measurement will get a waviness graph with higher values. Max value Min value Two surfaces with same peak-to-peak value Waviness calculation The waviness number is calculated by letting a sliding set of reference points traverse the measurement values. The maximum absolute value between the reference points will determine the waviness number at the given position. Waviness factor 1 checks the deviations between three measurement points. For example between points 1-3, 2-4 and 3-5 etc. Waviness factor 2 checks the deviations between four measurement points. 85 Straightness Straightness settings Select and to open Straightness settings.

Magnetic mountings on laser and detector make it easy to mount the equipment. Non-magnetic sheave/pulleys can be aligned as the units are very light and can be mounted using double-sided tape. Note! BTA is not included in the Shaft or Geo systems but bought as an option. For technical information, see “BTA E180 (Optional)” on page 126. Connector Detector aperture Battery Alkaline 1xR6 (AA) 1.5 V Image showing BTA E180 All types of sheave/pulleys can be aligned, regardless of belt type. You can compensate for sheaves of varying widths. V-belt Flat belt Timing belt Chain drives The misalignment can be offset or angular. It can also be a combination of both. Offset misalignment Angular misalignment Offset and angular misalignment 109 BTA Preparations • Check the sheaves for radial runout. Bent shafts will make it impossible to perform an accurate alignment. • Check the sheaves for axial runout. If possible, adjust with the mounting screws of the bushings. • Make sure that the sheaves are clean from grease and oil. Mount the units The units are mounted on a flat machined surface with magnets. The magnets are very strong, try to soften the touch by putting just one magnet to sheave first, then turning the other ones in. Non-magnetic sheave/pulleys can be aligned as the units are very light and can be mounted using double-sided The units fit small as well as tape. 1.Mount the laser transmitter on the stationary machine. large sheaves. 2.Mount the detector on the movable machine. 3.Make sure all magnetic surfaces are in contact with the sheave.

If not using the system for a long period of time, remove the battery from the laser transmitter. VIBROMETER Easy-Laser® Vibrometer is used in preventive as well as active maintenance work on rotating machinery. It measures the vibration level and bearing condition of machinery. When measuring vibration level, Easy-Laser® Vibrometer is measuring the effective velocity (mm/s or inch/s RMS) in the frequency range between 2 and 3200 Hz. This range covers most of the frequencies that will occur for the majority of mechanical malfunctions and imperfections, for example unbalance and misalignment. When used to measure bearing condition the Easy-Laser Vibrometer is measuring the effective acceleration (RMS) in the frequency range between 3200 and 20000 Hz. Trend analysis of the bearing condition value can be used to determine wear and tear of machine bearings. Magnetic tip Measuring tip See “Vibrometer (Optional)” on page 127. Mount directly on machine It is possible to remove the magnetic tip and mount the probe directly to the machine, using the M6 threaded stud. Measuring tip For measuring points that are hard to reach, use the measuring tip. Simply unscrew the magnetic tip and replace with the measuring tip. When measuring with the measuring tip, place it firmly against the measurement point and hold it as vertical, horizontal or axial as possible. When the measuring tip is used the frequency range is reduced to about 800 to 1500Hz. Note! Vibrometer is not included in all Shaft systems. 115 Vibrometer Measure 1.Use the standard red cable to connect the Vibrometer directly to the Display unit. Wireless units cannot be used. 2.Select to open the Vibrometer program. • Enter rpm. Optional. • Use the navigation buttons if you want to register another point than is selected by default. 3.Place the vibrometer against the measurement point. Pressing more firmly should not change the reading. If this happens, adjust the measuring point. 4.Wait a few seconds for the value to stabilize. 5.Press OK to register value.

Show tolerance table for vibration level and bearing condition value. 116 Vibrometer Vibration level In the Display unit, a table from ISO 10816-3 standard is shown. This standard is used for machines with power above 15kW and nominal speeds between 120–15000 rpm. 1.Use navigation buttons to select a measurement point. 2.Select to open the tolerance table. It displays the values for the selected point. Selected measurement point High frequency Bearing condition table Vibration level displayed in mm/s or inch/s Rigid or flexible The ISO standard is classifying the machines differently if the machines have flexible or rigid foundations. Usually this is determined from drawings and calculations of the machine. Groups • Group 1. Large machines with rated power above 300kW. Electrical machines with shaft height H > 315mm. Operating speed ranges from 120 to 15000 rpm • Group 2. Medium-sized machines with a rated power above 15kW up to and including 300kW. Electrical machines with shaft height between 160 < H < 315 mm. Operating speed normally above 600 rpm. • Group 3. Pumps with multivane impeller and with separate driver with rated power above 15kW. • Group 4. Pumps with multivane impeller and with integrated driver with rated power above 15kW. Guideline Another standard you can use is ISO 2372 class 4, for large machines on flexible foundations. 0 – 3 mm/s 0 – 0.12inch/s 3 – 7 mm/s 0.12 – 0.27 inch/s Small vibrations. None or very small bearing wear. Low noise level. Noticeable vibration levels often concentrated to some specific part as well as direction of the machine. Noticeable bearing wear. Seal problems occur in pumps etc. Increased noise level. Plan action during next regular stop. Keep the machine under observation and measure at smaller time intervals than before to detect a deterioration trend if any. Compare vibrations to other operating variables. 7 – 18 mm/s Large vibrations. Bearings running hot. Bearing wear-out cause 0.27 – 0.71 inch/s frequent replacements. Seals wear out, leakage of all kinds evident. Cracks in weldings and concrete foundations. Screws and bolts are loosening. High noise level. Plan action soonest. > 18 mm/s Very large vibrations and high noise levels. This is detrimental to > 0.71 inch/s the safe operation of the machine. Stop operation if technically or economically possible considering the plant stop cost. 117 Vibrometer Bearing condition value Bearing condition value is used for trend analysis. If the bearing condition value increases over time, it can be a sign that the bearing is poorly lubricated, overloaded due to misalignment or has a damaged surface. A high bearing condition value can however appear in gearboxes, converting machines with cutters and similar machines without any bearing fault. This is because this type of machinery naturally produces high frequency vibrations that are similar to the vibrations produced by a machine with a bearing fault. The bearing condition value is the quadratic mean, RMS value, of all high frequency vibrations between 3200 Hz to 20000 Hz. This value is an acceleration average measured in multiples of the standard gravity constant, g. The diagram below is only a guide to interpret the bearing condition value. A high bearing condition value should always be used as a request to make detailed frequency analysis. Do not change bearings before this is done.
